Anything in particular i need to do apart from unscrew the foot plate, unplug the old, plug in the new, replace foot plate?
It's gotta be more hassle than that

P20SPD - how and when would you recode the keys? First time I've heard of this. How is it linked to the ECU?
Gridlock Mikey - performance gains will depend on how the mapping has changed. Any change of getting it done at a rolling road? At least then you'll have some quantative figures on the change - run before, change, run after.

I assume you are talking about the AE801 ECU your are getting from me.
It is easy to install, just remove cover/kickplate thingy, unplug old ecu, plug in new ecu and away you go.
In terms of gains over the standard AE802 thats in MY00 cars I found it held slightly more boost and generally pulled much stronger.
I haven't recieved your cheque yet.

actually i've just the changed the ecu in a 98my turbo and had to code the keys. i believe it was a classic shape scoob as well so maybe we are talking about an import , i dont know if they have transponders or not. but i thought all uk scoobs from about 97my onwards had codeable keys.

On my MY97 dash there is a little key symbol that flashes when the car is locked. This is in addition to my alarm LED. I was told this is the key transponder light?
But.. if people have swapped out their ECU's without the key being rest then who am I to disagree
Anyone have a PPP ecu to fit a MY97?

Mike, if you want help fitting it, pop over.
I had to get to mine to solder in my AFR meter so know how to get at them
Although I imagine even you could do it
